Adamawa Blast: DG NEMA Assures Of Security Across IDP Camps

The director general of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mallam Sani Sidi, yesterday commiserated with the victims of the Malkohi bomb blast currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Center, Yola with an assurance of tight security around all IDP camps across the region.
During a visit to the Malkohi camp which came under attack last Friday, Sidi promised the displaced persons from Borno State that very soon, the federal government will ensure that they are evacuated back to their state.
He noted that his organisation is working with security agencies to increase the presence of security personnel around all IDP Camps across the region to ensure security of the inhabitants.
Sidi noted that as a last resort, the Boko Haram sect, whose fighting power has been seriously weakened, will resort to guerrilla fighting and bombing of soft targets, urging the inhabitants of the IDP Camps across the region to be more vigilant and report suspicious movements and persons to the security operatives.
He told the IDPs at Malkohi camp that enough drugs would be provided for them, noting that NEMA has entered into an agreement with two hospitals in the state capital to provide medical care for IDPs.
Earlier, the deputy governor of Adamawa State, Mr. Martins Babale, said that the security agents need to screen all the IDPs deported by the Cameroonian government to the country to avoid reocurrence of suicide attacks witnessed at the Madagali Market and Makohi IDP camp.
The commissioner of information in the state, Comrade Ahmed Sajoh, while receiving the NEMA DG on behalf of the state government, said that Governor Jibrilla Bindow would not relent in making the state safer for the IDPs.
Sajoh added that the state government will provide lighting across IDP camps in the state to enhance security across all the facilities.
